I’m hungry as hell right now, and all I keep thinking about is devouring a Peking Duck while in London. That is what I have dreamt about aside from Jack Bauer, Jack Bauer, and more Jack Bauer.

At this point I have had a messed up eating schedule because of work. I’m running around a lot and I dont feel like eating, because I’m not the type of person to eat something light. When I’m hungry I eat until I am utterly satisfied and at that point I’m in capable of completing any form of work. I remain stationary for a while before doing anything. And since I dont get off work until 5 or 6 pm I dont eat until then, and I need to get back into the gym.

The last couple of weeks in December really messed up all my routines because of all the work that needed to be done. And now I’m getting back into the groove of things. But damn I’m hungry!

Its just the bunch of things that you do before going somewhere for a bit. I thought to myself what do I want to make sure I get done before going. And I remember that I wanted to get a haircut, and I’m happy I did, it has been a couple of weeks since I got a shave and my head shaved and damn it felt good.

A few other things that came into mind is to pack light, and make a list of the essentials. I also have new songs on my mp3 player so no problem there.  I went and got some petty cash with me, and its enough for tipping and getting me around in the cab. I am going to try the Virgin LimoBikes and let you guys know how it is! I can’t wait to try them, I know its raining a bit in London I just really hope that it stops raining!

I want to pick a lot of DVDs and books, and some cloths. Then lets see what else I need to get from the UK!

My friend Nate called me up a week before Christmas saying he found something for me and wanted to send it to me. So I gave him my mailbox and completely forgot about it. He said its something that will make me laugh when I see it. And as time when by I completely forgot about it. When I came back from work today I saw a box and I literally had no clue what it was. So I looked at the sender address and it said South San Francisco and I remembered that this must be Nates box. I was extremely curious to what in the box so I ripped it open only to find something that made me bust up laughing.

It was a statue of A.W.E.S.O.M-O, its a show in series four of South Park where Cartman convinces Butters that he is a real robot and he should be his best friend. He wants to be his best friend so that he can take a video that Butters has of Cartman playing as woman and jumping a Justin Timberlake cardboard stand! I was laughing so hard fromm that! It reminded me of my college years, and we used to watch South Park during breaks or in between shows since it was so short and damn funny. It takes a specific sense of humor to enjoy South Park, and I loved especially watching with my friends! I can’t thank Nate enough for making me laugh and remind me of the good old days! I dont think I will take AWESOM-O out of the box! It will remain on my shelf! or maybe I will!

I got a few things done this weekend and a few things that I didn’t get done.

• At the top of the list: Finishing Gears of War (on Normal), and now restarting on Hardcore
• Watched a good amount of anime
• Rode some buggies in the desert
• Caught up with some sleep
• Watched some movies
• Relaxed with some friends

Things I didn’t do which I wanted to do but I was too lazy:

• Burn a CD! I have so many songs Im really to lazy at this point to put on them on CD, but I will over the next couple of days! I need to change the CDs in my car!

There are two things Im looking forward three things I’m looking forward to this month. And two are extremely Major, and one whish is minor. The minor thing is the Windows Vista release, but the Major is something to disclosed at a later point.

Those who didn’t notice, should notice! Its freezing outside, really really cold! I’m happy the machines in my room keep things warm. Its fantastic! I think I’ve been sleeping better because of the cold!

It was a bit of slow day at work, I was just finishing up paper work and emails but because of how messed up my sleeping patterns were I only got about 1.5 hours of sleep for work. I got in at 8:00am and then I was on top of all the paperwork I wanted to finish up. The work was a skeleton crew, and I was running around asking people for information that I needed, and it didn’t feel like a holiday at that point. Lots of people were still around and it was good getting back into the rhythm but I think the real storm will Saturday.

So after finishing up all I needed I felt my head was spinning from lack of sleep, and there was no use for me to stay so I left an hour early and got home by 3:00pm. After chilling with family for a bit I decided to hit the sack for a little while. I wasn’t hungry I just wanted to pass out, so I put on some anime to get comfortable and then I passed out from 4:30pm until 8:00pm and I had dinner/lunch around 9:00pm while again watching some anime. For a Wednesday night it was pretty damn good and comfortable. I was chilling down stairs watching all the anime I wanted in the most comfortable dishdashat noom that I have! It was fantastic, I was lazy and loving it. I really didn’t feel like moving, but I know I need to get back into the rhythm of the gym this coming week. I feel good about it, and this long nap fixed me for the rest of the month.

I know a lot of people had crazy nights for new years and some people stayed at home, but we had a relaxing New Years. It was freezing outside towards the end of the night, I know it was close to zero and when I asked my friend who just drove in an hour ago he said it was 3 degrees and we just wanted to light up some fireworks. They called these specific rockets the M80, and he said its the type that will blow up 16 times in the air, thats what the guy on the side of the road said would happen, he also said when you light it run for your life.

At this point we put it all the way in front of the shalaih and most the guys were sitting back and watching. It was only me and a friend who were willing to test the waters with this rocket, it was big and I didn’t have a chance to take a picture of it. We had some music playing with a lot of hot tea being made nonstop it was pretty good. And we had music going, and we were all pretty relaxed nobody was thinking about work and you could see the moon clear as day and the moonlight hitting the water. It was a fantastic feeling, we were freezing though even with the duwah (metal coal container), and so me and my friend lit the fireworks and we ran for our lives almost stumbling over each other. It was a scene from Lethal Weapon, and then boom that rocket launched like a NASA rocket. It was a hilarious scene. Of course everyone was wishing the other person a happy New Year and we were laughing, but at that point we all decided to go inside. By 1:00am at 1/1/2007 I decided to go to sleep while watching some anime. It was good night with good friends.

Since today is the last day for me to post I hope everyone has a fantastic night! Im going to the shalaih to relax and hang out with my friends and Im taking Gears of War to play with some people! I want to get them addicted.

Its going to be a good few nights of relaxation and chilling. I dont even know if we have fireworks! Maybe I shall find some on the way there. Its going to be freezing cold and I’m taking my beanie with me, and maybe a jacket. Im betting its going to drop below zero tonight.

Happy New people, Enjoy your nights!

After the rounds last night I suddenly got hungry towards later in the night and I had the sudden urge to have a pizza and it was 10:30pm and so I called Papa Jones pizza because I knew they delivered.

I asked for a bbq chicken pizza, and they told me 45 minutes, which I didn’t mind since I was going to watch some anime in the basement.  I was half way through an episode and then suddenly the delivery guy showed up. They were 25 minutes early and that is really good service! Papa Jones is open for delivery until 2am which I think is fantastic! I was looking at the marvelous pizza and I have to say that it disappeared to a bottomless pit within minutes. I enjoyed the end of the evening watching some anime  and playing some gears of war! I had hard time sticking to one thing, I loved watching the anime, but I can’t stop playing Gears of War!

Today was one hectic day flying from house to house and saying hello to the people coming in and out of all the different homes and it was freezing all day too! The greatest thing is seeing all these kids dressed up and they just want to rip their cloths off! hehehe!

I gave some 3ayady and its just funny seeing these kids that have no clue what these amounts are, and they are just adorable! I loved that the streets were nearly empty and I could go anywhere real quick with relatively little traffic. Then we had 3eed lunch and I continued my rotation of visiting my aunts, uncles, great aunts, grand mother, other relatives, and catching different people coming in and out. It was fantastic, and I don’t think I have drank this much tea, juice, and water as I have today. I don’t like sweets that much since I was looking forward to lunch but I was feeling tired towards the end of the day. Even my uncle said I looked like I was about to pass out and I felt like it. Tomorrow after sunset I’m planning to head out to the shalaih with some of my friends and spend a couple of days there, but we shall see what I’m going to do tomorrow. I will also try riding in the morning if I don’t have to visit anyone else at this point. Inshalla everyone is having an enjoyable Eid.

Eid Mubarak people, there are those who are traveling and those who have stuck around. I wasn’t sure if I was going out to the shalaih before Eid, but it turns out I’m here and tomorrow like a lot of people I have to do the rounds. Its going to be fun seeing family and at this point in time I have to give the kids the their Eid money.

One thing I have to do since I wasn’t prepared was to shave off the light beard, its going to be nice after a good hot shower and a nice shave. I’m honestly looking forward to that, and I’m looking forward to seeing all the kids who are going to be dressed up and running around. And I like that there is going to be very little traffic tomorrow.
